Revised Aicpacode Of Professional Conduct: Analyzing The Ethical Responsibilities For Members In Public Practice And Members In Industry, Steven Mintz
Steven Mintz
On June 1, 2014, the AICPA issued a codification of the principles, rules, interpretations, and rulings in the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct that specify which ethics provisions apply to members in public practice, members in business, and other members. A major improvement of the revised code is the creation of three sections for members in different areas of practice, to assist accounting professionals in each group to determine whether they are in violation of any of provision of the revised code. This paper explains those provisions as they apply to different members of the Institute.

The 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers reopened wounds many thought were healed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) in 2002. The Lehman litigation finally ended in late 2013 with audit firm Ernst & Young paying $99 million to investors who claimed the firm misled them with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Other defendants, including banks, officers, and directors, paid out more than $500 million. The bright line standards of GAAP and SOX were obviously not enough to protect Lehman plaintiffs or defendants. Why not? The 2006 fraud trial of Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling offers clues. When asked at trial whether U.S. …

Relationship Between The Audit Function And Effective Governance, Keith Duncan
Relationship Between The Audit Function And Effective Governance, Keith Duncan
Keith Duncan
Extract: As early as 1200 A.D. incorporated guilds in the United Kingdom (UK) required annual audits by a committee of members (Watts et al. 1983). The historical evidence suggests that the audit function evolved as an effective monitoring and bonding technology (Watts et al. 1983) that today consists of an international profession fulfilling regulatory requirements for assurance services. Despite auditing’s long history we might well ask, in the light of financial frauds such as Enron and the demise of their auditor Arthur Anderson, and the recent global financial crisis, does the modern audit function enhance effective governance? Is the audit …
The Effect Of Ceo It Expertise On The Information Environment: Evidence From Management Earnings Forecasts, Jacob Zachary Haislip
The Effect Of Ceo It Expertise On The Information Environment: Evidence From Management Earnings Forecasts, Jacob Zachary Haislip
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Firms depend on information technology to provide high quality internal information, but prior research suggests that IT is underutilized (Venkatesh and Bala 2008). Therefore, using a sample of firms with equivalent levels of technology in their information systems, I investigate whether firms that employ CEOs with IT expertise make forecasts that are more accurate. I argue that CEOs with IT expertise are more likely to encourage the utilization of IT in making earnings forecasts, thus increasing the accuracy of the forecasts. This argument is supported by prior research that suggests that people are more likely to utilize technology if they …

Valuation Of Family Firms: The Limitations Of Accounting Information, Tim Hasso, Keith Duncan
Valuation Of Family Firms: The Limitations Of Accounting Information, Tim Hasso, Keith Duncan
Keith Duncan
This conceptual paper explores the extent to which reported accounting information captures unique family firm decision-making and intangible asset factors that impact financial value. We review the family firm valuation-relevant literature and identify that this body of research is predicated on the assumption that accounting information reflects the underlying reality of family firms. This research, however, fails to recognise that current accounting technology does not fully recognise the family firm factors in the book value of the firm or the implications for long-run persistence of earnings. Thus, valuation models underpinning the extant empirical research, which are predicated on reported accounting …

Public Accounting, International Standards, And You: A Closer Look On The Impact Of Ifrs And Gaap Convergence, Daniella Lomo
Public Accounting, International Standards, And You: A Closer Look On The Impact Of Ifrs And Gaap Convergence, Daniella Lomo
Honors Scholar Theses
The convergence of US GAAP and IFRS has been significant for the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) over the decade. Due to major differences such as with the consolidation model and the special entities (i.e. Research and Development), there are concerns of how the convergence will affect the accounting practice. The US GAAP is known to have more industry-based details than the IFRS, and so it is essential to know what kind of issues lie from industry to industry. Here, our focus is within the life sciences. More specifically, this paper examines …

Donor And Grantor Reactions To Ceo Compensation In Nonprofit Organizations, Stacey Renee Kaden
Donor And Grantor Reactions To Ceo Compensation In Nonprofit Organizations, Stacey Renee Kaden
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Nonprofit organizations often rely on donations and grants to accomplish their mission. This study examines whether nonprofit organizations with high CEO compensation receive less in donor and grantor support compared to nonprofit organizations with lower CEO compensation. I find strong evidence that both donors and grantors give less to organizations that spend a larger percentage of total expenses on total CEO compensation. I also find that the reactions of donors and grantors differ based on the type of CEO compensation. While donors and grantors react to CEO base compensation, grantors also react to other CEO compensation and nontaxable benefits.

Traditionally, the field of public accounting has been dominated by white males. Today, minorities and women have been steadily penetrating the profession. As these diverse groups work together, conflicts in culture and awareness often arise. In this paper, I will discuss some of the origins of these conflicts and their effects on the people involved.

Financial Accounting Reform: The Need For A 'Back To Basics' Approach For Profit Measurement And Wealth Measurement, John Ryan
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
By recognising the dual purposes of financial accounting, and developing distinct theories to guide the preparation of financial reports, the apparent internal contradictions in accounting theory can be resolved. Property rights and measurement theory provide the basis for explaining transaction-based profit measurement and funds commitment, and for a statement of wealth measured using market prices. Property rights are recognised in The New Institutional Economics. Going beyond accepted accounting conventions, property rights provide the qualitative, empirical property giving meaning to accounting practice for profit measurement through the 1940s to 1960s. Examples of profit and of wealth measurement are included.

Learning And Study Strategies Affecting The Performance Of Undergraduate Management Accounting Students In An Australian University, Anura De Zoysa, Palli Mulla K A Chandrakumara, Kathleen Rudkin

This study examines the relationship between the academic performance of second year management accounting students at an Australian 'red brick' university and the respective individual learning and study strategies adopted by them in their studies of management accounting. A sample size of one hundred and eighteen valid responses comprises the data for this study. The respondents completed the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI). The results demonstrate that learning and study strategies of low and high performing groups differed significantly in six out of ten aspects that were examined, namely: anxiety; attitude; information processing; motivation; the ability to select main …
Ecological Modernization And The Role Of Environmental Accounting: A Study Of Chinese Automobile Company, Ying Deng
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
The globalised economy has changed the face of environmentalism and its application in Accounting. The transformation turned the companies to treat the environmental issues from operating problems to business opportunities. While the multinational corporations start to expand to the emerging market, the problems and issues are also coming along with the expansion. In this scenario, Chinese manufacturing industry plays prominent role. The uniqueness of State-owned-Enterprises (SOEs) has greatly transformed the ecological modernization into their practices in terms of mass production and management control. The agencies are considered as the reflexivity to the government using discursive formation to convince the public …

Beauty And Academic Career, Hai Lu, Yanju Liu, Kevin Veenstra
Research Collection School Of Accountancy
We examine the impact of beauty on the academic career success of tenure-track accounting professors at top business schools in America, and show that beauty plays a significant role. Specifically, after controlling for gender, ethnicity, publication history, work experience, and quality of alma mater, more attractive professors obtain better first school placements post-PhD and are granted tenure in a shorter period of time. Interestingly, there is no incremental benefit of attractiveness for the career progression from associate to full professor. These findings are consistent with our conjecture that when the signal of an individual’s potential is noisy, beauty becomes a …
The Effect Of Innovation On Corporate Tax Avoidance, Peng Guo
The Effect Of Innovation On Corporate Tax Avoidance, Peng Guo
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
A large body of literature examines the determinants of corporate tax avoidance. In this paper I examine a new determinant of tax avoidance: innovation. Firms with more innovation generate more patents. Due to information asymmetry between the managers of the firm and tax authorities, firms have considerable discretion in choosing which country the patent revenue is generated in. In this study, I predict that firms with more patents will choose to attribute the revenue from those patents to countries with low tax rates. Using a relatively new data source which contains data on patents, I find evidence consistent with my …

Does Culture Still Influence Accounting Judgements Post Ifrs? A Discussion And Proposal For Research, Brian Noll Cpa
Does Culture Still Influence Accounting Judgements Post Ifrs? A Discussion And Proposal For Research, Brian Noll Cpa
Faculty Works: Business (1973-2022)
The paper considers how culture may influence the financial accounting judgments made by firms post convergence to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The cultural framework established by Hofstede (1980) and accounting values developed by Gray (1988) will provide the theoretical framework in the proposed examination of differences in culture and accounting values between Anglo and Latin American nations. This proposed research provides a framework towards the understanding and prediction of the role and influence of culture in contemporary international accounting and financial reporting as well as need to address culture if IFRS is to be successful.
